Thank you everyone for taking part and making the WRQ fun.

Although I have been up early to post the answers/ results/ awards, I`m not well, and after carer has been I`m going back to bed. I`m drinking plenty of water and getting plenty of rest and sleep.

So, unfortunately, there will not be a WRQ today, Wed.

Hopefully I`ll be better by the weekend and WRQ will be back on Monday.

Worth a punt - Katahdin Monument and National Park in Maine is bigger than Acadia - some you win, some you lose. Good quiz, @Mi-Amigo - well done all, nice uptake 👍🏼

[MI5]

[gmarkj]

Happy with that - well done everyone, and thanks @Mi-Amigo
